Honestly I cannot comprehend this, I say something and it flies right over your heads and you not only ignore it but pretend it never even was said. Honestly you people are incredible, no wonder you have the reputations to be thugs and murderers, I thought it was an exaggeration and that people just didn't give you a chance, I thought if I spoke calmly and rationally to you we could actually work something out. Instead every time I give a peaceful resolution it is ignored and you all just concentrate on the issues that make you look better.

I joined these talks when invited. Layne Yr accused us of being part of the attack on Su Maehl. I deflected this by saying that I personally was not involved in the attack. Which is true I wasn't, other members of the Hive were. They were instructed to take his hands from his body which they did. Layne Yr DID threaten my investigation team, look back upon the conversion i said that an investigation team was landing in freighters and Layne Yr said that if they attempted to land they would be killed. I said if she killed them then my people would respond by burning the island. I never attempting to cover up anything, I knew that your Uth would find out that my Hive was responsible and I never denied that. Just because you are incapable of understanding me when I talk doesn't mean that I lied. I want you to review our conversation, back from my first time here. Go over it several times, not just glance over it, I want you to study it word for word. You will find out that I have time and time again been reasonable and you all just decided not to actually listen.

I am not going to give the other solutions to this problem again. On SEVERAL occasions I have given you other options and I am not going to repeat myself over and over and over again because you choose to ignore me.I have only suggested the burning of the island if your people decide to ignore all diplomacy and try to kidnap Mr. Terranovsky without any proof of misdeeds.The Trilat is the only one who seems terrified of actually investigating his involvement.

I have to assume you are all doing this on purpose, you are ignoring my points and making accusations so you can justify the violent actions you plan on doing in Kyrpos. There is no other logical explanation, there is no way you all could be so dense. I refuse to accept that you all just missed what I have been saying over and over again.

Hive Queen Ar'Yay was right, diplomacy with the Trilat is impossible, I have never met people so adamant in trying to prevent a beneficial outcome. It is as if you enjoy being difficult and want to drive me insane.

Twain,

It seems you are being set up, and Ar'yayHiveQueen is trying to cover her tracks with you. This is a copy of her liaison's communication admitting to members of this Hive setting up the attempt on Su Maehl's life. You can see it is an unedited forward of the communication. I apologize for your ship and the disbelief that my men and I had about your involvement. As you are one of the few witnesses to this crime, I and the other members of the TRILAT want to protect you from harm. This actually has nothing to do with you as a person, It has to do with solving this horrendous crime, and punishing those involve appropriately. As you are the only witness to any part of the crime, it behooves us to protect you.

I give you my word, if you come into my custody, you will not be harmed.

I do not expect you to take my word, but you should at least be able to rely on the fact I want to solve this crime to realize that I will not harm you.

I thank you for the offer of protection, but an offer of protection by the enemies of my people and my customers is not appealing to me in the least. Please understand I'm not rejecting your offer out of spite, animosity or ungratefulness. I am saying no simply because if I do go with you then none of my customers will trust that their proprietary secrets have not been compromised... well, that and during the Border Wars I saw first hand how many Kasanthians treat their witnesses. I am not saying that you are like that, but experience has told me that many of your compatriots are.

I also will not willingly go into any questioning by Su Maehl or any governments he is deeply involved with. My gut says that he is a liar and a cheat. If you really do insist on on having me questioned then I will only give myself up to an un-involved (with what is going on here today) third party that I trust such as the EFF, Blackheart Security, Zadonai Celyse or Fort Lendill. In the interest of full disclosure, of the four listed I have not had any real dealings with Zadonai Celyse or Fort Lendill.

You may contact Zadonai Celyse to be picked up. Two of my Lords will be going with you to observe the questioning, and will receive input from Prime. I don't think this should be an issue, as we have received most of the information from the brain slug representative. This questioning is more of a formality, and for confirmation of the current knowledge we have. When the questioning is done, you will be free, and hopefully our paths will not cross again, or if they do, in a less tense situation.

You need to include me in your communications with the Zadonai Celyse so I can alert my men, and everyone else that is involved in this situation.

Let me get this straight. You want answers but you don't want to ask Celyse yourself and you want her to allow you to bring two Sanguine Lords along for observation? Maybe it'd be best if you sent all the Sanguine Lords home and came along yourself. If you're too shy to ask for some conflict resolution help that's fine but I will not ask the leader of all Uth on Refuge to sit in the same room with two sentient weapons of mass destruction. Especially as she doesn't control them herself.

Once again, I'm good with your choice and will even ask for her help myself if you really can't but in no way will I suggest that she allow the Sanguine Lords into her presence. I might be silly every once in a while but please do not mistake me for an idiot.

I agree, I can think faster than I can talk and I can shoot faster than I can think. Action is easy, talking not so much. While Zadonia Celyse is not easily reached, she is not unreachable. I honestly don't know much about your Rabble. Are they actual beings or are they nightmares? I have interacted and even lived with Uth before, it is best to treat them with a healthy respect/fear.

I ran a contest when some people where raiding the Ship Grave Yard. It didn't turn out as I had hoped, but I offered the freelancers training and employment after that. The Rabble are so named in honor of that day, and are made up of participants. They are not nightmares, I usually don't like the idea of forcing total control on beings.

If I bring men to the Island, it will erupt in a battle, where most everyone there will die. Which is why I am suggesting the Lords as observers.

You still haven't told me how to get a hold of Celyse, and I need to know that to continue.

The way I would go about getting in touch with Zandonai Celyse if I were you would be to contact Field Marshall Strykker and ask for an introduction. Another way would be to send an envoy to the Azreal's Keep on the Plane of Awareness since if I'm not mistaken it's the ancestral stronghold of the the Uth Zadonai. Your men could meet me at the Uth stronghold or you could just have one of those Kasanthian techs accompany me. I have no idea what they're building but it might be best if they stopped since we're trying to deescalate things here.

As he did a huge Da’uhnb appeared in full power armor with a huge reactor on his back. At his side were four Kasanthian Necro-Adepts who leapt off and began assembling something.

Ryuk,

Please don't try to play me for a fool. This a small island and those are very obviously Kasanthians and they're very obviously building something. Maybe your people aren't telling you everything but I have eyes on 4 Kasanthians accompanying a Da'uhnb and they're definitely building something.
